I’m not normally a fan of death metal – but this one caught my attention. Perhaps it’s because it’s a good retelling of the traditional fantasy story of the work stressed goblin, bothered by co-workers while dreaming about getting the girl. I wonder why they call this track “No One Survives”? Fan? There’s a Facebook […]
The beasts of Star Wars – cute and on your plate
These rather cute versions of some Star Wars beasts are from the talented folk at Third Half Studios. I see what they’ve done with their name. In theory you can even buy these plates over at their Etsy store but I’ve had a rummage around and can’t find them. A sell out? Likely. Are these […]
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters Trailer
This is the first trailer for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and it looks pretty cool. It features man of the minute Jeremy Renner (surely his star can go no higher among geeks?) and Gemma Arterton. Recognise Arterton from somewhere? She was Tamina in Prince of Persia, Io in Clash of the Titans and Strawberry […]

Goblin riders for your dog’s costume
I’ve mixed feelings about dressing up for dogs for any occassion. However, if the dog likes the attention (and some seem to) and is nicely rewarded then I guess it’s okay. It also helps if the costume is cool. If you’re a Lord of the Rings fan and know all about those dangerous goblins riding […]
The best Star Wars model ever? Life-sized Rancor
The Rancor monster was unfortunate enough to have Luke Skywalker, in Jedi mode, dropped into his pit by the evil Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi. He’s been a fan favourite ever since.

LEGO samurai Oni slayer
Andrew Lee is a skilled Lego builder. Wintermute on BrickShelf and onosendai2600 on Flickr he is worth tracking if Lego is your thing. In any case, it’s certainly worth checking out this impressive Lego sumurai. I figure the warrior is holding the head of an Oni or similar, but Lee notes; “Someone needs to kick […]
